Hi Nathan, tried the libdts package. Maybe I have done something wrong but I still get the same error. I downloaded to /root, clicked to expand, went with the default to expand to /root. It put a directory in /root and several other files in various places, but still won't run. I suspect that I should have had the package in a particular place before expanding it?

Doaugal - Simon confirmed that for me a few posts back. And yes, dotpups do work in Grafpup.

Mike - To install the .tar.gz packages you have to either do as Jason says or else open up Gpkgtool and click on the folder icon, which brings up a package selection dialog. There is also a third way. There is a launcher for Gpkgtool at /usr/local/apps/Utility/Packages, which you can drag to the desktop for a shortcut. Then you can drag any .tar.gz|.pet|.pup package to the icon to install it.

Just clicking on a .tar.gz package brings up Xarchive, which is used to extract compressed archive files.

Probably next release (2.01) I may switch the system over completely to .pet packages like in Puppy. I didn't want to do it this time around because pkgtool does not fully support all of the possible features yet, like embedded dotpups and spec files.

Simon - In that case those aren't the latest but the oldest, the binary versions which come with libhardware as opposed to the replacements which are bash scripts.

I downloaded the Seamonkey version of Beta (finally got something besides dial-up) and I am having problems with installing to HD. When I pick "ATA Harddrive" I get a box that says "Nothing to choose from. If a plugin device, Did you plug in?" If I pick "Cancel" which is the only option, the dialog box goes away and nothin happens._________________"Don't tell my cattle that I have leather seats in my truck"

Kino has released version 1.0 in the interim, so I'm going to try an upgrade while trying to fix this. I've also packaged dvgrab so you can import video on the command line.

I checked into Cinelerra again and I have to recompile a few packages like faac, this time against mpeg4ip, and then I might get as far as Quicktime4linux. That seems to be the major stumbling block with quicktime anyway, it needs mpeg4ip, but I have to change a few things to get that to install.

I'll post the Kino and Dvgrab packages either late tonight or in the morning. No promises on Cinelerra yet.

Nathan: I had a chance to download the latest beta last night but it wouldn't download...

The link just gave me an error (either 404 or 500). Tried a few times.
Then I went to grafpup.org (which worked) and tried going into "iso" -- error again. About the tenth time it finally went in and I managed to get to the "test" directory and click to downlod it.

It stopped after 39k... I tried again and it seemed to be downloading ok, so I left it, but when I came back it had stopped and I had an error message: "Internet Explorer could not download the file"..._________________What's the ugliest part of your body?

Nathan, a couple more things:
I changed the root password and now I have to log in twice
I presume the auto log into root isn't finished yet as I can't get that to work.
I have never been able to get gtkam to recognise my Sony dsc-w50.
I was trying the new pclos this morning and digikam seems pretty usable. It also scanned and found my camera no probs so it set me thinking about your experimental KDE version. Would you be able to make digikam available as a package or would it have to come with the full kde thing? A fast kde does sound quite appealing, I think I would like to give it a try some time.
Mike

Dougal - not sure why, unless it's related to Internet Explorer . I just tried it and the iso is downloading for me at full speed for my connection, about 150kbps, with no signs of slowing down or stopping. Of course it's also possible that demand might have been slowing things down, especially on bubbleletter, because distrowatch links directly to the download right from the front page. When it goes final I'm going to release a torrent as well t give people one more option.

MIke - Your camera undortunately isn't one that libgphoto supports, so it's not going to work in gtkam. To see the list of currently supported cameras go here. You're the second person who has mentioned Digikam in as many days and yes I am considering creating a package for it, but I have no timeline on when it will happen. I might upload an early version of the kde iso in a few days but understand there will be some rough edges, like having to shut down from the command line.

I'll check into the login problems too.

Also, I uploaded the new Kino package to grafpup.org and the bubbleletter mirror, as well as another version of ffmpeg which doesn't depend on libdts. I'll be gone on family stuff for most of the day though, so I can't help with anything else for a while.
